- Presentation
Background
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO-1) is a cytosolic enzyme involved in the catabolism of tryptophan; IDO-1-related immune suppression is due to decreased tryptophan availability and to the generation of tryptophan metabolites, culminating in substantial suppression of T-lymphocytes. Here we investigate IDO-1 expression in a cohort of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens, both in tumor cells and in immune infiltrate, with correlation of IDO-1 to PD-L1 expression, clinical patient demographics and outcomes.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
A cohort of 1.200 NSCLC samples were obtained from 437 patients who underwent surgical lung resections at Austin Health, Melbourne, Australia. IDO-1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Correlations were assessed using Spearman and Kendall tests. A Cox proportional hazards (PH) model was used to assess if overall survival (OS) was associated with IDO-1 positivity in univariate and multivariable settings.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Samples from 437 patients were analyzed for IDO-1 expression, with 111 (25.4%) determined as positive (H-Score ≥ 1) and 326 patients (74.6%) as negative (H-Score: 0). IDO-1 expression was determined to be greater in tumor immune infiltrate, with 406 patients (93.8%) determined as positive, while just 27 (6.2%) were IDO-1 negative. There was a significant positive correlation between IDO-1 positive tumor cells and immune cells (0.2167, p < 0.001). Both continuous and binary versions of tumor H-Score showed a significant positive correlation with the amount of tumor immune infiltrate (0.1806 and 0.1698, p < 0.0001, respectively). None of the analyzed variables (age, sex, histology, stage, EGFR, KRAS and PD-L1 status) were found to display a significant correlation with IDO-1 positivity in tumor and immune cells. IDO-1 positivity in tumor cells was found to be significantly associated with OS in the univariate setting and in the multivariable model where variables age, sex, histology, stage, EGFR, KRAS and PD-L1 status were included [P-value = 0.009 and 0.021, respectively; HR: 0.72 (95% CI: 0.55-0.95)]. IDO-1 positivity in immune cells was found to be significantly associated with OS in the univariate setting and was borderline significant in the multivariable model [P-value = 0.006 and 0.053, respectively; HR: 0.798 (95% CI: 0.635-1.003)].
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
To our knowledge, this is the most extensive analysis of IDO-1 expression in NSCLC patients reported in the literature. Our results suggest the possible prognostic role of IDO-1 expression in tumor and immune cells, highlighting the relevance of IDO-1 detection in tumor tissue. Since new compounds targeting IDO-1 are actually under investigation, the identification of potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers will be needed.

MA12.06 - STELLAR – Final Results of a Phase 2 Trial of TTFields with Chemotherapy for First-Line Treatment of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (ID 13806)
11:05 - 11:10 | Author(s): Rafal Dziadziuszko
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are an anti-mitotic, regional treatment modality, utilizing low intensity alternating electric fields delivered non-invasively to the tumor using a portable, medical device. In-vitro, human mesothelioma cells were highly susceptible to TTFields. TTFields have been shown to significantly extend survival of patients with glioblastoma when added to chemotherapy.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
The trial accrued 80 patients with unresectable, previously untreated mesothelioma. Patients were treated with continuous 150 kHz TTFields (>18h/day) in combination with pemetrexed and cisplatin or carboplatin (at standard dosing). Inclusion criteria included ECOG PS of 0-1, pathologically proven mesothelioma and at least one measurable lesion according to modified RECIST criteria. Patients were followed q3w (CT scan q6w) until disease progression. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) and secondary endpoints were response rate, progression free survival (PFS) and toxicity. This prospective, single arm study assumed an historical control with a median survival of 12.1 months (Vogelzang et al. 2003). The sample size provides 80% power with a two-sided alpha of 0.05 to detect an increase in median OS of 5.5 months.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
All 80 patients were enrolled between 2016 and 2017, with a minimum follow up of 12 months. Median age was 67 (range 27-78), 84% were male and 56% smokers. 16% (13 patients) had metastatic disease and 44% (35 patients) had an ECOG PS of 1. 66% (53 patients) had epithelioid histology. Compliance with TTFields was 68% (16.3 hours/day) during the first 3 months of therapy and 63% (50 patients) received carboplatin.
Median OS was 18.2 months (95% CI 12.1-25.8) compared to 12.1 months in the historical control. Median PFS was 7.6 months (95% CI 6.7-8.6) compared to 5.7 months in the historical control. Partial responses were seen in 40.3% of patients and clinical benefit (PR+SD) was seen in 97.2% of patients. No device-related serious adverse events (AEs) were reported. Expected TTFields-related dermatitis was reported in 46% (37 patients). Only 4 patients (5%) had grade 3 dermatitis. The following grade 3-4 systemic AEs were reported in >3% of patients: hematological AEs (15%) and fatigue (4%).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
The study met its primary endpoint of significant extension of survival for previously untreated mesothelioma patients. Secondary efficacy endpoints were also improved compared to historical control. The study demonstrated no safety concerns for the combination of TTFields to the thorax together with standard chemotherapy. These results support the addition of TTFields to standard chemotherapy in the treatment of first-line malignant pleural mesothelioma.

MA25.02 - Searching for a Definition of Synchronous Oligometastatic (sOMD)-NSCLC: A Consensus from Thoracic Oncology Experts (ID 13452)
13:40 - 13:45 | Author(s): Rafal Dziadziuszko
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Recent prospective single centre studies reported improved outcomes in patients with sOMD-NSCLC who were treated with radical intent. Since then sOMD has been perceived as a separate disease entity. However, a clear definition of sOMD-NSCLC is lacking. We aimed to develop a definition and diagnostic criteria of sOMD-NSCLC following a consensus process.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
A European multidisciplinary consensus group was established with representatives from different scientific societies. Consensus questions were extracted from a survey, case series and a systematic review. The questions were discussed, and the statement formulated during a consensus meeting in Dublin (23.01.18).
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Summary of consensus statement
Defining sOMD-NSCLC
Definition of sOMD is relevant for patients in whom a radical treatment is technically feasible with acceptable toxicity, taking into account all sites, that may modify the course of the disease leading to a long-term disease control.
All sites must be technically and safely treatable.
The maximum number of metastases/organs meeting the criteria involved will depend on the possibility of offering a treatment strategy with radical intent, taking into account local control and toxicity. Based on the systematic review, a maximum of 5 metastases and 3 organs is proposed.
Diffuse serosal metastases and bone marrow involvement are excluded.
Mediastinal lymph node (MLN) involvement should be considered as locoregional disease in the definition of sOMD-NSCLC.
MLN involvement is of importance in determining if a radical local treatment of the primary tumour may be applied and the MLN will not be counted as a metastatic site.
Staging of sOMD-NSCLC
PET-CT and brain imaging are considered mandatory.
In case of a solitary liver metastasis a dedicated MRI of the liver and for a solitary pleural metastasis, thoracoscopy and biopsies of distant ipsilateral pleural sites are advised.
Staging of the mediastinum requires a minimum of a FDG-PET scan, with pathological confirmation preferred if this influences the treatment strategy.
Pathological proof is required unless the MDT decides that the risk outweighs the benefit. Pathology proof is advised for single metastatic location and if it may change the therapeutic strategy, confirmation of the MLN involvement is recommended.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
A multidisciplinary consensus statement on the definition and staging of sOMD-NSCLC was formulated taking into account results of a European survey, a systematic review and case discussion. This statement might be helpful to standardise inclusion criteria in future clinical trials. However, the definition of sOMD may change over time when more prospective data will become available.

OA02.01 - Efficacy and Safety of Entrectinib in Locally Advanced or Metastatic ROS1 Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 13903)
10:30 - 10:40 | Author(s): Rafal Dziadziuszko
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Entrectinib is a central nervous system (CNS) active, potent, and selective inhibitor of ROS1, TRKA/B/C and ALK. Entrectinib is more potent against ROS1 than crizotinib, the only agent currently approved for the treatment of ROS1-positive NSCLC. Interim data demonstrated that entrectinib was tolerable and achieved high objective response rates (ORR) in patients with ROS1-positive, ROS1 inhibitor-naive NSCLC, including patients with baseline CNS disease (Ahn MJ WCLC 2017).
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Phase 1/2 studies of entrectinib (ALKA, STARTRK-1, STARTRK-2; EudraCT 2012-000148-88; NCT02097810; NCT02568267) enrolled patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The safety-evaluable population included patients who received ≥1 dose of entrectinib. The integrated efficacy analysis included ROS1-positive NSCLC patients enrolled based on identification of ROS1 fusions via nucleic acid-based diagnostic platforms. Safety was assessed by monitoring adverse events (AEs), laboratory tests, and physical examination. Tumor assessments were performed at the end of cycle 1 and every 8 weeks thereafter. All scans were submitted for blinded independent central review (BICR) using RECISTv1.1. Primary endpoints were ORR and duration of response (DOR) by BICR. Key secondary objectives were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Additional endpoints evaluated in patients with baseline CNS disease were intracranial ORR (defined as complete or partial responses in patients with baseline CNS lesions per BICR using RECISTv1.1), intracranial DOR, and PFS. For intracranial assessments, the CNS subgroup was derived per BICR; for systemic analyses, the CNS subgroup was derived per investigator.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
There were 53 efficacy-evaluable patients with treatment-naïve, ROS1-positive NSCLC. BICR ORR was 77.4% (95% CI 63.8–87.7) with complete responses in three patients (5.7%); median BICR DOR was 24.6 months (95% CI 11.4–34.8). Per baseline CNS status (as determined by investigator), median BICR PFS was 26.3 months (95% CI 15.7–36.6) and 13.6 months (95% CI 4.5–NR) for patients without (n=30) and with CNS disease (n=23), respectively. Intracranial ORR was 55.0% (95% CI 31.5–76.9) and median intracranial DOR was 12.9 months (95% CI 5.6–not reached [NR]) in patients with baseline CNS disease per BICR (n=20). In the overall safety-evaluable population (n=355), most treatment-related AEs were grade 1–2. Few patients required dose reduction (27.3%) or discontinued treatment (3.9%) due to treatment-related AEs.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Entrectinib was tolerable with a manageable safety profile, and showed clinically meaningful, deep and durable systemic responses in ROS1-positive NSCLC. Clinically meaningful intracranial activity was also demonstrated in patients with baseline CNS disease.

P2.01-81 - Treatment of Superior Sulcus Tumor: A Twelve-Year Single-Center Experience (ID 14144)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Rafal Dziadziuszko
- Abstract
Background
Superior sulcus tumor (SST), also known as Pancoast tumor, occurs in up to 5% of all non-small cell lung cancer patients. Owing to its proximity to vital thoracic structures, SST remains one of the biggest challenges of thoracic surgery. The results of the Southwest Oncology Group Trial 9416, in which SST patients were subjected to induction chemoradiation followed by surgical resection, established a widely accepted standard-of-care. Data on the efficacy of this approach outside of clinical trial setting are scarce. We present long-term outcomes in a large group of patients with SST who underwent surgery with or without preoperative treatment (PT) in a single tertiary referral center.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Study group included 76 consecutive patients treated between February 2006 and June 2017. All patients had histologically-proven and radiologically-defined T3-T4 N0-N1 M0 superior sulcus non-small cell lung cancer. Study group included 50 men (66%) and 26 women (34%) with a mean age of 56 years (range, 41-81 years). Squamous cell lung cancer constituted 55% of the population.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Fifty-four patients (71%) underwent PT, 44 of whom received radiochemotherapy (58%), 4 radiotherapy (5%) and 6 chemotherapy (8%), and 22 (29%) were managed with surgery alone. All patients selected to PT underwent subsequent pulmonary surgery including lung and chest wall en bloc resection, and complete lymphadenectomy. In the entire group 71 lobectomies (93%), 3 segmentectomies (4%) and 2 pneumonectomies (3%) were performed. Surgery in patients managed with PT included 52 lobar resections (96%) and 2 pneumonectomies (4%). Complete or near complete pathologic response following PT was achieved in 67% of operated patients. In the entire group resection was complete (R0) in 62 patients (82%). Overall 30-day and 90-day mortality in the entire treatment group was 2.6% and 6.6%, respectively. Overall 3-year and 5-year survival probabilities were 44% (95% CI: 32%–56%) and 38% (95% CI: 26%–50%) respectively. A non-significantly higher 3-year survival probability was recorded in patients, who underwent PT compared to those managed with surgery alone (50% vs. 36%, respectively; log-rank p=0.27).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Real-world treatment outcomes in SST patients amenable to surgery are similar to those obtained in the general population of lung cancer patients. PT may increase long-term survival rate and is associated with low perioperative mortality, which justifies its routine application.

P2.09-24 - MERS67 is a Novel anti-NaPi2b Antibody and Demonstrates Differential Expression Patterns in Lung Cancer Histologic Subtypes (ID 12636)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Rafal Dziadziuszko
- Abstract
Background
NaPi2b is a sodium-dependent phosphate transporter expressed in lung, ovarian, and thyroid cancers. Prior studies have suggested an enrichment of expression in lung adenocarcinoma (ACA).
XMT-1536 is a NaPi2b targeting ADC (Antibody Drug Conjugate) comprised of a humanized antibody (XMT-1535) conjugated with 10-15 auristatin F-HPA (AF-HPA) payload molecules via the Dolaflexin platform. AF-HPA is capable of controlled bystander-effect killing, resulting in efficacy in models with heterogeneous antigen expression, and is metabolized intra-tumorally to an active non-permeable metabolite to enable greater systemic tolerability. Previously, we demonstrated pre-clinical activity of XMT-1536 in human primary xenograft models of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
MERS67 is a human-rabbit chimeric antibody derived from XMT-1535. MERS67 has been formatted for use as an immunohistochemical reagent by multiple methods and expression has been shown to correlate with response in an unselected series of primary ovarian cancer xenografts. (AACR-EORTC, 2017)
We evaluated MERS67 to see if it would preferentially stain lung adenocarcinoma (ACA), as has been demonstrated using other NaPi2b antibodies.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
An immunohistochemical assay for MERS67 was established on a Leica BondRx Instrument. The assay was performed on tissue microarrays (TMA), including NSCLC and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line arrays, and a NSCLC human tumor array. Tumors in the NSCLC array had previously been classified based on morphologic features only. All arrays were scored based on the H-score method.
To characterize the primary tumors further, the tumor TMA was stained with TTF-1 and p40, markers of ACA and squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), respectively. Results of this staining were compared to MERS67 staining patterns.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
H-Scores in the NSCLC cell line TMA ranged from 0-260, and from 0-100 in the SCLC TMA. Within the tissue microarray, 99 individual cases were evaluable. By morphologic classification 63 cases were SqCC, and 23 cases were ACA. Using an arbitrary cut point of H=50, there was a statistically significant difference in the number of NaPi2b positive ACA cases (19/23) vs SqCC (3/63). Among 43 cases where p40 and TTF-1 were evaluable and were in agreement with morphologic diagnosis, 7/7 cases of ACA were positive for NaPi2b, while 0/36 SqCC were positive.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
MERS67 is an anti-NaPi2b antibody that frequently demonstrates immunoreactivity in lung ACA. MERS67 is a chimeric antibody related to XMT-1536, a proprietary anti-NaPi2b ADC. Target expression using MERS67 is being evaluated in an ongoing XMT-1536 Phase 1 clinical trial enrolling non-squamous NSCLC patients.
